WEDDINGS/CELEBRATIONS; Georgia Stitt, Jason Robert Brown

Georgia Cate Stitt and Jason Robert Brown, who are composers, pianists and lyricists, are to be married in New York today. The Rev. Jay Wegman, an Episcopal Priest, is to officiate at the Cathedral Church of St. John the Divine, where the bridegroom is an artist in residence. Rabbi Ari Fridkis is to take part in the ceremony.

The bride, 31, has been the assistant conductor this season for the new production of ''Little Shop of Horrors'' on Broadway. She graduated magna cum laude from Vanderbilt University and received a master's degree in musical theater writing from New York University. Her father, John Stitt of Memphis, is a pulp and paper specialist at Buckman Laboratories, a chemical company there. Her mother, Susan Stitt of Marietta, Ga., is an assistant principal at Pebblebrook High School in Mableton, Ga.

The bridegroom, 33, won a Tony Award in 1999 for his score for the musical ''Parade.'' He also wrote scores for ''The Last Five Years'' and for ''Songs for a New World,'' both Off Broadway musicals. His first marriage ended in divorce.

The bridegroom is a son of Deborah and Stuart Brown of Monsey, N.Y. His mother retired as an English teacher at New Rochelle High School. His father, also retired, was in the decorative bathroom accessories business.

The bride and bridegroom met in New York in June 2000, while working on the national tour of ''Parade,'' for which Ms. Stitt was the assistant music director and pianist.
